Mammoth Mountain commits to Memorial Day Weekend

Neither a low snow year nor a three-year drought is going to hold back Mammoth Mountain from being mammoth this spring.

Blessed by very late snowfalls in March and with more snow in the forecast for April, the ski hill announced last week that it would commit to stay open at least through the Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26.

“Although winter got off to a slow start, the past month brought a series of strong storms with nearly 100 inches of snow, and more in the forecast this week,” said Mammoth Mountain CEO Rusty Gregory in a news release.

“With excellent conditions typical of this time of year, we look to continue our long-standing tradition of skiing and riding well into May.”
